Interesting that the former Megadeth bass player is not teamed with another musician. Also interesting that he's not a wash out, but somewhat relevant in that he could probably get another job with a major band if he wanted to.

I like the new twist where if you win the first leg, and then win the whole game, you double your money. Not that it is likely to happen.

I think a more interesting twist would be to say that any team that finishes a leg in first place can either accept the prize for that leg, or give it up for the chance to double their winnings at the end. Then the winners of every leg would have to decide whether it's a good gamble to take the trip/cash/prize or to give it up. For one team, it would be an awesome move, but for all others, it would be stupid. So you'd get to see whether teams really believe they have a realistic shot at winning the whole thing.

When I first saw the "double-up" possibility, I was thinking it wasn't likely to make much of a difference because it's unlikely to happen, but I went and looked at the past seasons, and it's actually happened quite a lot, especially in the more recent races.

In the previous 20 races, 12 of the teams who won the first leg were still around for the final leg, and 6 of them won their races, including the last two races.

In 5 of the last 11 races, the team who won the first leg went on to win the entire race.

It will be interesting to see how this affects how the other teams treat that team, if at all.

Meh, stupid unnecessary gimmick. If they wanted to do it right, how about the team that wins THE MOST legs and wins the whole race gets 2 mil. That would give teams a bigger incentive to go for each leg than just trying to "stay in the race".
